UK Study tour of Waste - September 2012

The VWMA and its NSW and Queensland counterparts (Waste Contractors and Recyclers Association) are planning a waste tour of the UK during the first couple of weeks in September 2012. Details are being finalised and a flyer will be released shortly but as numbers will be limited to no more than 30, anyone interested in visiting a waste show, touring some waste facilities in Birmigham and London and having some meetings with some environment bureaucrats as well as having a few refreshing ales at a number of UK hosteleries after a hard day's work, is advised to contact the VWMA asap and register your interest.
